HI!

I had trouble using event thru firewall!
The client open a new connection to manage events, using the first port
available in listen mode.
The server, when registering this event, try to connect to this port on
client machine.
If a firewall drop this connection, the server hungs. Still waiting client
response eternaly....
The client interbase log register the timeout error.
This happens in FB too.
I heard notice that this problem had fixed in 1.5 version of FB.

Bye!
